Property Taxes

Texas’s over reliance on property taxes to raise revenue and the constant intentional underfunding by the Texas Legislature of our counties and school districts have forced more and more of the total texas tax burden onto property tax payers. We must work to reduce the tax burden on local tax payers and to do so by having a state government that picks up its share of the tab for our public education and healthcare. Every year our legislature gives more and more money away to special interests while devoting less and less to the essential services that texas needs. Ryan will fight to make sure that we meet our obligations to properly fund public education and healthcare and relieve the overwhelming burden on Texas property tax payers.
